I'm not sure if this really counts as agoraphobia, but I read one definition that said "fear of leaving safe place".
I am able to leave my room to go to classes, and also to use the bathroom and showers down the hall. Yesterday I was even brave enough to go to the bookstore and pick up my textbook rentals. When I arrived on campus on Thursday, I was brave enough to go for a walk, but now, I think of going outside for a walk and the fear takes hold of me.
The problem is, I'm hungry. I have a box of instant oatmeal and a chocolate bar. Also, several bottles of water. But my point is, I am too afraid to go pick up my student ID which I need to buy food. I am too afraid to go to the dining hall to get food. I ate a chocolate bar yesterday but for the past 24 hours, I have eaten nothing. Food is practically all I can think about, yet this fear is preventing me from obtaining it.
If something doesn't happen soon, I am going to get sick and I could even die of starvation. I really don't want that to happen. I need to be brave. I just don't know how.
